romantic stories as the main genre, and this includes a variety of different

City, but is trying to fulfill her passion in writing and eventually have her
dream job become a reality.
“Where is your boss, by the way? You said you invited
him.” I would like to see him so I could get a slight idea of what I will be in
for Monday morning.
“He is around here somewhere. I spotted him earlier. Turn around, you’re up.”
I gasp and whirl around. Crap! It’s my turn to walk all by myself, with all
eyes on me. It sure seems a long way, now that it’s actually time for me to make
the journey. I gulp and tighten my fingers around the lovely bouquet in my
hands. I’m surprised I haven’t crushed it. I take a deep breath and step
forward. All eyes are trained on me as I walk slowly down the passage. Please
don’t fall, please don’t fall, I chant. My heart is going a thousand beats per
minute. I groan inwardly as I notice the lascivious once-over glances that are
thrown my way from a few of the male guests. I finally come to the end of my
walk to stand beside the other bridesmaids. I let out a low relieved breath and
turn to watch my best friend walk down the aisle, accompanied by her father.
I smile when she meets my gaze and winks. I sneak a peek at the groom. He is
looking at his approaching bride with stars in his eyes. I am hit with a
feeling of longing. When will a man look at me with so much love? The right man
for me has to be out there somewhere. I just need to be patient. I sigh
inwardly. Patience has never been my strong suit. The perfect man could be
among the guests here this afternoon. I scan the crowd idly. As if by a
magnetic pull, my gaze locks with mesmerizing blue. My breath hitches in my
chest. The man looking at me is incredibly good-looking. As a matter of fact,
he is gorgeous. He stares at me with a burning intensity that causes my toes to
curl in my strappy heels. I feel flushed, yet the way he looks at me causes me
to shiver. My gaze lowers to the perfectly manicured hand placed possessively
on his arm. Standing beside him is a tall, stunning blonde. She looks like a
supermodel.
Laying eyes on his gorgeous companion, the trance that I seemed to be in
quickly breaks. I shake my head slightly and return my attention to Chloe. I’m
surprised to see that she has already reached the altar and is standing next to
her groom. I quickly move to adjust the train of her gown behind her. I make a
terrible maid of honor. I wasn’t even paying attention to the bride. I try to
ignore the mysterious man’s presence, but I can’t forget how his eyes bore into
me and the fact that he looks like a Greek god. I can still feel his eyes on me
and I am tempted to look back at him, but I fight the urge. I wonder who he is.
He must be a friend of Seth’s. If he were a part of Chloe’s circle, I’m sure I
would have noticed him before. The man is pretty hard to miss.
I listen as Chloe and Seth recite their vows, and my heart melts at how they
stare into each other’s eyes lovingly. The mysterious man creeps into my mind.
What would it be like to have someone like him stare lovingly into my eyes? I’m
utterly sure I would swoon. But that can never happen. The blonde beside him
would make sure of that. He is way out of my league anyway. I could never land
a man like him. “I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may kiss the bride.”
The priest’s voice penetrates my thoughts. I blink. Wow, the ceremony is over
already? I spent the whole time thinking about a man whose name I don’t even
know.
Recently Author Roxy Sinclaire reached out to me to
read and review her book Trapped In His
World. You all know that I love discovering new authors. Let me preface
this review by saying that to write is truly a talent. I honestly don’t know
how authors do it! Sharing your work with the world and offering it up for
judgement is tough. I appreciate each and every author for their work because you
took the time to write something that you believe in and one review good or bad
does not make or break your work. An “unfavorable” review is not an attack it’s
just that as one reader certain themes/concepts were problematic for me.
Remember reviews are just opinions not the gospel. And you know what that say
about opinions!
Navia…
Her life was nothing she planned for it wasn’t even
what she would wish for on her worst enemy. Moving to the big city from N.C.
she has a degree but like most her degree hasn’t helped her and bills seem to
be the only thing coming her way. Chole her best friend offers her a job as a
temp for her boss while she is vacation on her honeymoon. Signing on the work for
the broody and very private Jason Black things are going to get very interesting
and quick. Little does she know this is more than a job it’s about to irrevocably
change her life forever.
Jason Black…
What can I say about Jason? He has deep seated issues
with sex and women. Very private and deeply troubled it is something about
Navia that has drawn him closer to her. Not being able to get her out of his
mind Jason goes further than he has ever been with any woman. Could Navia be
the woman to change the mysterious Jason Black?
This book is a dark read and explores the themes of
bdsm. Navia and Jason meet at Chole’s wedding and are instantly drawn to each
other. It doesn’t take them long to develop a sexual relationship with each
other. This isn’t the issue my problem lies with when you are entering in a
bdsm relationship or even writing about it you have to be very careful because at
times this didn’t feel like a consensual relationship. Navia seemed as though
she did all the things he liked to do and allowed herself to be used and abused
because she just wanted a man. The author doesn’t dig deep into their
relationship until nearly the end of the book. And the bomb dropped about Jason
and his mother was explosive. I felt like this book had some good concepts it
just needed to be explored more. It was too short and fell a little short for
me in certain areas especially their relationship. As a reader I never
understood why they were drawn to each other except sexually but nothing of any
depth. She had more in common with the worker she met at the job than Jason. I
felt at times I was reading about a very co-dependent relationship that was
very toxic. And when Navia finally stands up for herself she caves and goes
back to this relationship. But why? Nothing is fully explored or fleshed out.
And the ending? It just seemed rushed honestly. This book wasn’t my cup of tea.
And I don’t discourage readers. If you enjoy a quick dark read please one click
this book. This review is based on one reader’s opinion. Please judge this book
for yourselves and not based on this one review.
